Frequently Asked Questions
What is electric poultry netting?
Electric poultry netting is a portable fencing system consisting of twine woven into a mesh structure and fitted with vertical posts built into the net at intervals. If the energizer is on, and someone touches the fence then it gives a brief poke/pulse. It is introduced for temporary structures holding poultry and as a predator deterrection.
What size electric poultry netting do I need?
Standard electric fencing completes its circuit through the ground, meaning soil moisture matters. In dry, sandy, or frozen ground conditions, that circuit becomes unreliable. Positive/negative netting solves this by incorporating both positive and negative conductors directly in the fence, so the circuit completes on contact with the net itself rather than through the soil.
What is Positive/Negative electric poultry netting?
Length and height can be determined by the number of your flock as well as the area you plan to fence. Standard rolls typically have lengths in the range of 100 to 165 feet long, making them ideal for small to medium-sized backyard flocks. For larger operations, this generally means that multiple rolls are linked. Height is typically 42 to 48 inches high enough for most chickens but particularly flighty breeds may need a taller setup.
Do I need an energizer for electric poultry netting?
Standard electric fencing completes its circuit through the ground, meaning soil moisture matters. In dry, sandy, or frozen ground conditions, that circuit becomes unreliable. Positive/negative netting solves this by incorporating both positive and negative conductors directly in the fence, so the circuit completes on contact with the net itself rather than through the soil.
How does Starkline electric poultry netting protect against predators?
Yes. The netting itself doesn't generate current. An energizer, also called a fence charger, connects to the net and delivers the pulse that makes it effective. Energizer sizing depends on total fence length and vegetation contact. Underpowered energizers are one of the more common reasons electric poultry netting underperforms, so matching output to your setup matters.
